Overriding default IP addresses and ports
FortiManager systems’ built-in FDS connect to the FDN servers using default IP addresses and ports. You can override these defaults if you want to use a port or specific FDN server that is different from the default.
To override default IP addresses and ports:
1. Go to System Settings > FortiGuard Center > Configuration.
2. If you want to override the default IP address or port for synchronizing with available FortiGuard Antivirus (AV) and Intrusion Protection (IPS) updates, select the arrow to expand FortiGuard Antivirus and IPS Settings, then select the check box beside Use Override Server Address for FortiGate and enter the IP address and/or port number for all FortiGate units.
3. Select Update to immediately connect and receive updates from the FDN.
The FortiManager system connects to the override server and receives updates from the FDN.
4. If you want to override the FortiManager system’s default IP address or port for synchronizing with available FortiGuard Antispam and Web Filtering updates, select the arrow to expand FortiGuard Web Filter and AntiSpam Settings.
Select the check box beside Enable Server Override and enter the IP address and/or port number.
5. Select Apply.
If the FDN connection status remains disconnected, the FortiManager system is unable to connect with the configured override.
